With 14 AV-8Bs on board, Illustrious would have exhausted her supply of bombs in one strike. The Invincibles were marginal at best in this role. QEC is a different matter. That's a big difference.

I would have thought it would make more sense to put a Merlin on each of the T23s and a Wildcat on the T45s. Interesting that Sea Venom will be carried. I didn't notice they declared IOC.
